Geometric Challenge Day 6: Around The Bend

Hello! This week has been super busy. I had my chemistry midterm on Wednesday and since then I've just been enjoying my time with friends. Reading week has officially commenced here (the Canadian version of spring break for university students) so we're all looking forward to having some fun. Tonight we're all going to see Passion Pit with Matt & Kim in concert so I'm pretty stoked. I'm hoping to do some nails for the occasion so I'll try to have that up tomorrow if it works out.

Today's nails are part six of the geometric challenge. The prompt was 'bent' so I did some more line work with striping tape as my aid. I originally wanted to do some sort of chevron pattern but the outcome was a total disaster. I did these instead and I like them a lot better. If I have more patience I might try the thumb design again one day :)

I used American Apparel Mannequin as my base. I sectioned off diagonals with striping tape and used a striping brush for all of the line work. The colours I used are American Apparel African Violet and American Apparel The Valley. I topped it off the look with blue and purple rhinestones.

Don't forget to visit the other ladies' blogs for some more geometric nail art!
